Must've just had a ban wave. Good timing!

Are you European? I think I've met a whole team of 666ers, if I am not mistaken.
Canadian. That is not my screenshot. Got it from r/globaloffensive.
Like 90% of the Overwatch cases I'm getting now it's actual hackers, been doing 4 or 5 sessions per day.
Sitting there watching them go at it, my mind can't comprehend why these people do it. It's so freakin pathetic and boooooooring, absolutely zero fun, I just can't understand the reason why a person would waste time out of their lives to walk around a map offing other players so effortlessly like that, it's not like anyone in the server is going to be fooled and give them mad respect for their awesome skills. I just feel bad for the guys doing the hacking.

Mirage seems like a really great map from what I've experienced since yesterday, can't wait for it to get into the official rotation.

Obvious cheaters like that do it for the reactions. It's trolling basically. There are almost always reactions too, especially in a game like CS with so many immature people behind the keyboards. I always try to tell people not to rage and cry, it's exactly what they want.
Btw, can I ask about your playtime, skill group and how many competitive matches you've won?
That makes sense.
710 hours of CSGO played
354 Competitive wins (won about half of the total number of competitive matches I'd say)
first "AK-47" rank (don't remember the name)

Doesn't look like I should expect that box to appear on my front page any time soon. :|

3 wins.
No overwatch box.

This exactly. I know Valve is trying to make the matchmaking as quick as possible, but I would rather wait twice as long to get into games with people who have decent ping.

Sometimes it is very true. Get a close range map with a p90, sometimes they just demolish with them skipping across the map.
Just played competitive last night for the first time in a long time. Won the match 16-14. Went to look at my stats and ... what? Only 1 competitive win?
Oh yeah, all of my competitive wins were in BETA. Once the real game came out I got busy and only played casual.
I always do this, put tons of time into a game during beta. Then once the retail comes out I stop playing and wonder why my rank/stats are so crap. Sometimes I wish your stats would carry over.

Looking for players from the Pacific/West to queue for MM.
I am a Master Guardian II rank.

It's probably best if you played the game by yourself, starting slow, but steady. Practice with offline bots (so that you don't feel like you're losing every match) until you are comfortable with Expert bots. Then jump into casual play using "Find A Game" so that you have no surprises in terms of server-side weirdness.
If you're playing the game for the first time, there should be a lot of on-screen stuff that tells you what to do. If you've never played an FPS before, there's a "Weapons Course".
play on a DM server or something to get a hang of the weapons since they're fairly unique in the FPS genre because of their recoil
playing matchmaking, idk, just stick with your team at the beginning, it can be kind of obtuse to learn that you should be saving money a few rounds after you lose the first for example, or where you should be going as T/CT (then again I'm at AK level and still see people standing in really obvious/stupid spots)
e: yeah that guide above is good. really if you just learn to keep your crosshair at headshot level you will be better than most people at early skill levels

Wish Valve kept track of all the senseless hours I wasted in 1.4/5/6 and Source before the orange box era and just grandfathered me in. I don't play a lot of CS:GO but I would love to help keep the streets clean. Still, I understand why they need you to have proven dedication in GO so that the overwatch reports won't get flooded by too many non-serious players.

Guess who's coming to matchmaking.
lol WAT
a remake of the 1.6 map
map looks nice, the theme is a little boring but I guess it fits the map
btw I just watched an old 1.6 video, complexity: redemption (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCN4HXZNU7M) and its kinda weird that even though esports are a lot bigger right now, teams dont have managers any more

Blog update on Mirage (coming next week) http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2013/06/7149/
Not sure if I like them modifying the design after saying that they dont want to modify the design...

Great read. It sounds like they really took time and care to research the map before working on it.
They made the map look gorgeous while maintaining and improving the gameplay aspects of the map. I can't wait to play this.
I think it looks nice. I'm not sure I like the ebox change @ A though

Hard to say it is the case until it's been played ad infinitum.

Yup and I missed the side panels at the big window overlooking mid.
Really liking Mirage, but no idea if it's a ct or t map, the two games I played ended 15-15 and the 70% of the people playing had no idea where to go most of the time, much less which corners and hiding spots to watch out for lol.
In one of them I was losing 14-15 and with my entire team dead, I managed to hold B by myself with a Mag-7 vs 4 guys and secure the tie. People were flipping their shit over voice chat, so good..

When you get into a match and you see you're up against something that looks like
176 Vuvuzinho1.0
191 xXxNaruto237xXx
223 Francisco Duarte
174
162 Todo meio killer // BR
you know you're in for some rough times
Wish there was a sure fire way to avoid them, they're really hard to hit and they always see you first around corners and shit. I just don't get at all how high ping gives them an advantage, shouldn't it be the other way around? Is there a lag compensation system in place or something that favors them?

Maybe dumb, but if their ping is high could you turn down your max matchmaking ping settings?
That only controls your ping.
The brazilians dont have a datacenter so they play on N. American servers. Its basically game breaking. No english and no reasonable ping, the two things that break CS outside of hacking. After 700 hrs of GO, I can rarely muster up enough want to play with any more.
